Try as I might I cannot get Indiwebmanager setup was created by Clive Davies

I am trying to setup a remote Indi server on a Pi3. Following the various tutorials, none of which are consistent, I have got to the point of trying to autostart the Indiwebmanager. I have followed the details as they are on github but the autostart will not work. I have tried both .service files with similar results.
The indiwebservermanager can be started locally and works from a remote client, but I need it to autostart so the pi can be unmanaged.

I get the following:

● indiwebmanager.service - INDI Web Manager
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/indiwebmanager.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2017-09-08 16:11:42 BST; 4s ago
Process: 1900 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/indi-web -v (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
Main PID: 1900 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Sep 08 16:11:42 AstroPi systemd[1]: indiwebmanager.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.


Many thanks.

Horus,

I'm having the same issue. If you type
systemctl
, can you scroll through the services listed and find the indiwebmanager service in that list? Does it say "activating" as if it's trying to activate, but is not active as the rest of the services? This is where I am at currently, but with the indiwebmanager-pi.service script.

Best,
Jacob

Try to get journalctl log:
journalctl -u indiwebmanager

It might shed a clue on the issue.

Same as Horus above, for
journalctl -u indiwebmanager-pi.service
:

that's not enough information.. there is no more detailed error message from journalctl? maybe try that again with 'sudo'

I realize it's not enough information, but it's all that comes out- pages upon pages of repeat.

Same results as jnowat.

Have tried both .service files, root, & user with same results.

Did notice a posting about some changes recently to this service as 'improvements'.

Could you try to execute the following command as "pi" user?
/usr/local/bin/indi-web -v

That is the line executed by the ".service" script.
Please paste the output here.

OK, so the executable file is not in /usr/local/indi-web.
Did you install it with "sudo pip install indiweb"? If not, try to do so.

If it is installed in another location, you can find it with
which indi-web

In that case, you should change the line starting with "ExecStart" in the "indiwebmanager-pi.service" file. It should point to the correct location.

Response from which indi-web

mate@AstroPi:~$ which indi-web
/home/mate/.local/bin/indi-web

I did install as per github instruction using sudo pip install indiweb

Will retry install and see.
Thanks
